This video shows Dak’s property and the field had had installed at his place.

Looks like he is living the good life. 7 hole golf course, a lake to fish in, trails to ride ATV’s on all on his property and the kid ain’t even signed a mega deal yet. Oinkos be paying this kid right it seems

It's only 3 games but lets dig a little deeper into our #1 offense. Dak is 18th in the league in completion percentage with 67.1%. That's pretty glaring and this should tell everyone that's it's a different game then years past. Dak is 15th in TD passes with 5, tied with seven other QB's. Dak is ranked 23rd in TD%. Dak is ranked 14th in QB rating with a 98.5.

Having the most yards while you're #1 in pass attempts is great but it's not leading to TD's and even with so many yards his QB rating is almost mid-tier at 14th. These are good numbers for a 4th round QB that no one had huge expectations for but is this the guy you break the bank for?

Can we find better? I really don't know considering our GM and front office. But that doesn't mean that I'm on board with paying Dak franchise money. He's the 5th highest paid QB in the NFL this season and we're sitting at 1 and 2. Defense plays a huge part of that record, no doubt about it. But I'm not excusing Dak. His piss poor play to end the first half, start the second half and end the game vs the Seattle was a huge contributor in the loss.

We've got a lot of season left and anything can happen but it wouldn't surprise me if we're sitting at 8 and 8 with as many questions as we have answers, just like last season.

I grew up watching Landry call plays and consider KM and MM so second rate as to be near irrelevant. How many SBs did MM win as HC with arguably the best QB ever? Sometimes I think KM has never heard of running slants and dumbs to unstack the box ... these geniuses lack common sense, like JG, and ultimately JJ.

You're right the numbers are crazy. "18th in the league in completion percentage with 67.1%.". In 2016 his COMP% was 67.8, that was good for 6th on the year. His 65.1 last year was 9th.

last year only Garoppolo had a COMP% over 70%, As of now there are 10 QBs over 70% in 2020.

I don't think we can view the current stats as much more than a reflection of a bunch of blown coverages and weird plays ... weird offseason

but your question was would we pay top money for Dak, don't matter. Will JJ? yes, and he offered big money.

I think Dak is a good leader and a workaholic who'll keep getting better, with a serious mid to deep game, his short is frightening at times. They have to get him out of the pocket when protection isn't there and use mobility to create time to go down field.

but maybe, your points and the above illustrate that we often get over focused on QBs ... frankly, Dak ain't the issue, nor even a limping OL - it ridiculous blown coverages so far in 2020, 4 TDs last weak off blown coverage

This is a quagmire for sure. Dak is done for the year. Tag him again next year? Will he be ready? I don't think you can sign him long term until you see how it affects him, both mentally and physically. Dak gambled early in the season last year and lost. He gambled again and didn't accept the long term offer and lost.

Malpractice by his advisers for sure. All contracts we offered him guaranteed financial security. All were rebuffed.

It’s put him in the worst position he could possibly be in. He lost ALL of his leverage.

He should have signed his last offer when he had the chance. This could be a situation where he not only is gone for the rest of this season, but part or all of next season while he rehabs.

And like was said previously, you can’t pay him till you know he’s back to 100%

IIRC, he already switched agents sometime after the deadline to make a deal occurred

Am I dreaming?

I think I got it wrong and Daks agent, Todd France has parted ways with CAA Sports

If Prescott chooses to remain with France even though he left CAA, the next round of talks with the Cowboys could go the same way these did. But if the fifth-year quarterback sticks with CAA, there’s a chance his asking price might be different with new representation.

Right now, there has been no indication that Prescott is considering switching agents. It certainly bears watching though.

So Dak was the one holding the team back? We beat a fucking hapless Giants team with one of the worse offenses. And offense that averaged 11 points a game, and yet manage to put up three times that against the defense. The most points they scored all season was 16, and yet they doubled that against this defense, but yet it was Dak that was holding the team back?

He did that already.

I think he realized at the very end of the negotiating period that his agents had fucked him, but it was too late.

so you expect the Boys to make Dak a $0 offer in the off season?



If Dak rehabs 100% then I expect Jeruh to make him a fair offer again like has in the past. That may be by matching his last offer or even by making an offer for the same overall value but with less guaranteed money because of the injury.

If Dak comes back at less than 100% or in any way has an issue with his ankle then I expect jeruh to be smart with his money and make him a reduced offer. If Dak’s injury ends up like Alex Smiths than I expect the same thing to happen to Dak. He will float around the team as a back up while he heals and hopefully gets back on the field one day, possibly never regaining his starting position.

It sad to say, but Dak bet on himself and he lost in the worst possible way

I feel for the kid and was the first one around here to jump on the Dak bandwagon. I wish him nothing but the best for him. But this is what happens when you play hardball. Sometimes you lose!
